The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S26 Pro may not live up to its “Pro” moniker when it comes to its camera capabilities. While the device is expected to feature a new main sensor, it will retain the same size as its predecessor, limiting potential improvements in light capture and noise reduction. The ultra-wide camera sees a jump from 12MP to 50MP, but experts suggest that this increase in megapixels may not translate to better photo quality. The telephoto lens remains unchanged with a 10MP sensor, which is considered one of the smallest in the industry. Additionally, the display will stay at 1080p resolution, which is adequate but not groundbreaking for a 2026 release. The design of the S26 Pro will feature a revamped camera module and a look reminiscent of the iPhone, while the Plus model is being replaced by the ultra-thin Galaxy S26 Edge. However, both the Pro and Edge models will continue with the same 25W charging speed, lagging behind competitors. These modest updates raise questions about whether Samsung is playing it too safe, as the “Pro” label suggests a standout feature that, as of now, the cameras do not seem to provide. The official specifications will reveal if Samsung can deliver real innovation or if the focus remains on marketing.
Are the Samsung Galaxy S26 Pro cameras truly “Pro”?
